You’re not going to believe this Easter dessert. And, no, I didn’t put chocolate in my deviled eggs! I wouldn’t do that – okay, so maybe I would. But that’s not what this is. These Chocolate Deviled Eggs are just that… chocolate with a little yellow butter cream frosting for the yolks. Pretty cute, huh?
These deviled eggs made from chocolate and buttercream icing are such a fun Easter dessert idea, though it seem more like an April Fool’s joke for your guests. It truly is hard to tell that they aren’t real eggs.
My mom recently showed me a picture of chocolate eggs from a magazine she was flipping through. I don’t recall which magazine, might have been Woman’s Day, but it gave me the idea to make these devilishly cute (pun intended) little treats. I think I’ll whip up another batch of these for Easter and play a little trick on our dinner guests, by placing a tray of these next the the real deviled eggs – won’t they be in for a surprise!
These were surprisingly easy to make. I used a half egg chocolate mold that I picked up online, but you might be able to find something similar at your local craft or cake supply store.
To make, simply melt some white chocolate or white candy melts in the microwave, according to package directions. Spoon the melted chocolate into the egg molds, being careful not to overfill. Once the molds are filled, gently tap the mold on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Place the mold in the refrigerator until set. This shouldn’t take more than thirty minutes, or so.
For the yolks, I whipped up a batch of my favorite buttercream icing and added several drops of yellow food coloring. Lastly, I piped on the yolks just like you would with ‘real’ deviled eggs, and sprinkled on some red sugar sprinkles for the paprika.
Did I fool you with these?
What a cute idea! I totally thought that they were real eggs there for a moment!!!
I read this and Im like – chocolate????. OMG what a cute idea . I love it . I can really play a joke on my friends that love deviled eggs LOL . Thanks so much for the idea and info

Wow these really do look like deviled eggs. Fun idea.
Brilliant! I love this idea.
This is a great recipe…love it. I was like the rest of them when I read chocolate deviled eggs…terrific!
You really fooled me! Lol! I couldnt even begin to imagine what chocolate would taste like in Deviled Eggs…Than I read further and realized it was actually chocolate ! What a clever idea! I think I will have to try this at our next Family gathering! Your idea of placing these next to the real thing on the table is awesome! Lol! Thankyou for this delightful post and recipe..A+
LOL Thanks Cathy! We’re so glad you enjoyed it.
Alright, you had me going, I was worried for a moment because these look so real. However, chocolate is so much better, now I want these!
wow those look so real! Very neat, deviled eggs are my traditional dish.
I thought I had made deviled eggs everyway possible til I read this, lol – I would have never put chocolate in them! I think it would be a odd taste. I love them with the basics, celery, relish, mayo and topped with a few other of my secret ingredients! lol
